Change It Project (CI)

Change It! Project

CALM 20

Goal: To apply creative thinking to something close to home in our city with the potential to practically apply our ability to make change, benefiting self and others. In other words, THINK, PLAN and DO!

Limitations: Your minds.

Time Frame: September 26 Mod 21 & September 27 Mod 22

Steps

Step One: Find a group of three and brainstorm an area/idea/project that you think needs to change or be created for Lethbridge. The skies the limit! Do not discredit any ideas …

Step Two: Once you have a master list then select your top three ideas.

Step Three: Choose one idea to create an action plan for.

Step Four: Research your idea, has it been done before? If yes, then look into other similar projects. Is it already being done but changes need to be made? Is it entirely unique? Then set out the guidelines for practical application. Make phone calls, do research, make a survey, etc!

Step Five: Assemble a poster board showing a practical break down of how you could achieve this idea in Lethbridge including; resources, financial needs, advertising, marketing, sponsors/donors, time required, steps that need to be taken, etc. This will be unique to your idea and feel free to include any original thoughts in this section.

Ex. A sample advertisement …

Step Six: If possible go and do it this weekend. Meaning if it something that is already done – go volunteer. If there is something similar – go try it out. If it is totally unique try to take your poster board one step further, whatever that may look like … make a video? Write a blog?

Step Seven: Answer the three reflection questions posted on the class blog: www.calmwithcali.blogspot.com. The questions must be typed or written out and included with the poster as part of the final product.
